Entenza hits back at Kelliher in TV ad
DFL gubernatorial candidate Matt Entenza is using one of his final TV ad before the Aug. 10 primary to respond to what he describes as "attacks" from Margaret Anderson Kelliher.
Kelliher, the DFL endorsed candidate for governor, has criticized Entenza for proposing that Minnesota cuts ties to the federal No Child Left Behind law. She says the state cannot afford to lose any federal education funding. Entenza insists the state could pull out of NCLB without losing money.
Campaign manager, Dave Colling, says the ad is a positive response and lays out Entenza's position.
"These attacks have been coming not just at the debates, but they've been coming on the phones, they've been coming when folks are going out door to door, just throughout the entire campaign," Colling said. "So, we felt at this late hour, the best way to respond would be through a TV ad."
